Boeing has been pushing hard to sell enough classic 777s to keep that Everett production line busy while it starts slow-rate production of the new 777X airplane, which was unveiled at the 2013 Dubai Air Show. However, Boeing has found the
classic 777 a tough sell. The 35 new 777 orders announced so far this year are a far cry from the many orders needed to keep the assembly line busy until a couple of years after 2020, when the first 777X is to enter service. “They’re knocking on all the doors they can, dropping prices sharply and still finding it a tough sell,” Hamilton said.

However, the company plans to lower output of the classic 777 in the next few years as it begins initial low-rate 777X production. See PARIS, back page, this section

Promotoras serve as a bridge between the Latino community and the medical world Herald Writer
EVERETT — The conversation started with a direct question. Like its subject matter, the question cut across age, gender, ethnicity and income. “Do you know anyone who’s had cancer?” Heads nodded around the room. Carolina Rosas and Judith Hoiby gave a talk on breast cancer June 8 at Odyssey Elementary, south of Everett. About a dozen women attended, some carrying toddlers still rubbing the sleep from their eyes. Rosas was nervous. It was her first presentation as a Promotora de Salud — a health promoter

The women cried together and hugged. They understand what it’s like to face barriers, limitations. “For this reason, we want to go to them,” said Veronica Martinez Jimenez, a Promotora. After her talks, at least two people have sought medical attention and been diagnosed with cancer, she said. With so much false information about health care, the Promotoras see themselves as a critical bridge between the community, their culture and the

Carolina Rosas gives her first presentation as a Promotora de Salud — a health promoter — for a group of women meeting at Odyssey Elementary School on June 8.

LYNNWOOD — The ruse deserved an A for effort and an F for ethics. When a trooper pulled over a car for speeding on southbound I-5 near Lynnwood on Friday morning, he noticed that a frontseat passenger wasn’t breathing. The man didn’t look well. His body appeared rigid. He wore a blanket over his legs. The top of his head was covered by the hood of a Seattle Seahawks sweatshirt. It reminded the trooper of a time earlier in his career when he stopped a woman driving with what turned out to be her dead husband in the passenger seat. He didn’t want another case with a corpse. Trooper Mark Francis said the conversation between the trooper and the driver stopped Friday morning went something like this: Trooper: What’s up with your passenger? Driver: Nothing. Trooper: Tell him to wake up. Driver: I can’t. He’s not real. Reports of the traffic stop led to some levity on social media. One tweet, taking note of the Seahawks garb, called it a case of the “12th mannequin.” The driver, a 47-year-old Lakewood woman, went to great lengths to conceal her deception, including applying cosmetics to the dummy. “It is definitely creepy putting makeup on a mannequin,” Francis said. The woman was given a speeding ticket for going 73 mph in a 60 mph zone. She also received a citation for driving in a carpool lane by herself. As for her mannequin, she got to keep it. Possessing a mannequin is not a crime, Francis said. Eric Stevick: 425-339-3446; stevick@heraldnet.com.
